Chapter six hundred and eighty fourth confused case (five)
Update time:2013-04-04
Anyone who plays politics, unless they are a novice, must be very good at observing colors, and Li Zhen is naturally a master at it. When he saw Li Xian's brows and heart beating, he seemed to be going crazy. Not only was he not Although he was panicking, he was secretly overjoyed. He twitched his face and prepared to look aggrieved. It was not that the case was not easy to solve, but that it was impossible to solve it at all. If the conflict between Dong Palace and Empress Wu could not be provoked, In the chaos of the war, Li Zhen's plan to fish in troubled waters may not work. Only when Li Xian became violent because of being "unjustly" did Li Zhen take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the opportunity.
"The aftertaste of the power of the sword? What kind of thing is this? I have been practicing swordsmanship for many years. I dare not say that I am invincible, but I can be regarded as an expert. How come I have never heard of such a thing? Can Uncle Eight do it for me? Can I explain one or two?"
Li Zhen's emotions were brewing very quickly, but unfortunately it was in vain. Although Li Xian's brows furrowed for a moment, they soon relaxed again, and he never showed any signs of violence. Instead, he smiled slightly and showed a graceful expression. Qingyun asked calmly.
"This... is so that Your Highness can know that the old minister is not familiar with the art of swordsmanship and really knows nothing about it. However, since Immortal Sun said so, he may or may not know for sure."
Not being able to wait for Li Xian to get angry, Li Zhen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Her heart moved quickly, and she explained a few words hesitantly, but there was still a hidden meaning of instigation in her words.
"Oh? In that case, I seem to be the biggest suspect in the eyes of the Eighth Uncle. Anyway, since the Eighth Uncle is ordered to investigate the case, I should fully cooperate with him. If the Eighth Uncle wants to investigate the case, please ask me , no matter who it is or where it is, as long as the Eighth Uncle wants to check it, I will not fail to do anything."
Li Xian did not listen to Li Zhen's tricks at all. He seemed to have no clue about the instigation and was not angry. Instead, he showed his full cooperation with the investigation.
"I don't dare, I don't dare, I have no such intention!"
If Li Zhen was given more courage, he would not dare to publicly search the palace. If nothing was found, it would be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor and neglecting his superiors. Even if Li Xian didn't care, the bullets of the ministers below would be enough to kill him. After it was submerged, not to mention that after it spread, people all over the world were scolded, and the Yue Prince's family could no longer think of raising their heads again. At this time, hearing Li Xian speak so generously, Li Zhen couldn't help but panic. , hurriedly explained something.
"It doesn't matter. Uncle Eight has the holy purpose at his disposal. How dare I not cooperate? Otherwise, if it is spread out, how will the world view me, eh?"
Li Xian had already guessed Li Zhen's intention, but he didn't intend to reveal it, but just pretended to be stunned.
"Your Highness is joking. I don't dare to be so rude and illegal. I also witnessed your Highness' drunkenness last night. What Sun San said must be a false accusation. I should report it to the Holy One and punish him severely!"
The reason why Li Zhen wanted to take Sun San's confession earlier was to use it to bargain with Li Xian, but now she saw that Li Xian did not take the bait and did not get angry because of it, so she knew that her original plan had been in vain. Although he was disappointed, he had to cheer up and comfort Li Xian with some words.
"With the Eighth Uncle as evidence, most of my suspicions have been eliminated. However, it would be inappropriate not to conduct an investigation. So, since the Eighth Uncle has arrived, please conduct a thorough investigation." To restore my innocence."
Li Zhen had retreated again and again, but Li Xian still refused to withdraw his troops and insisted on Li Zhen investigating to the end.
"this……"
Li Xian said it very generously, but how could Li Zhen dare to do it? After being forced again and again, sweat appeared on his forehead, and he had a grimace on his face, not knowing what to say.
"Eighth Uncle, there is no need to worry about it. Let the people below take care of these small things. I will chat with Eighth Uncle here. After a thorough investigation, we can make plans. Gao Miao, go and pass on my order.
Announce that all the people who were on duty last night must gather in front of Ganlu Hall to undergo thorough investigation by the Eighth Uncle!"
Li Xian didn't care whether Li Zhen was in trouble or not, and gave the order with a solemn expression.
"Promise, slave, I obey!"
Since Li Xian had given such an order, Gao Miao, who was accompanying him, did not dare to neglect him. He hurriedly responded without caring about Li Zhen's feelings, and hurriedly exited the study without making any arrangements.
.
"Your Highness wants to put this old minister on the stove."
At this point, it was impossible not to investigate. Li Zhen felt as if she had eaten Coptis chinensis, but she couldn't get into an attack. She could only frown her old face, shake her head and say with emotion.
"Uncle Eighth, don't worry. I will explain this matter to you on my own, and I won't embarrass Uncle Eighth. Come on, show me your seat!"
Li Xian left the palace secretly last night. Except for Zhang Jianzhi and a few other confidants, no one else knew about it. He was not afraid of anyone finding out. Now Li Zhen came to the door himself, and Li Xian was happy to lend his hand to "
The truth is out there, of course
, Investigation after investigation, it was all a window-dressing effort for outsiders to see. If you really want to completely expose the case, you still need the cooperation of Li Zhen. After all, Li Xian did not want to leave any trace for Empress Wu.
Take advantage of the possibility of meddling in this case.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me a seat."
It must be difficult to escape the infamy of being imprisoned and imprisoned, so Li Zhen let go and said nothing more. After thanking him, he lifted the hem of the royal robe and sat down with a faint expression on his face.
Heidi glanced at Li Xian and said no more.
"Stand back!"
Since we are talking about cooperation, we can't just let Li Zhen take the blame. We have to give some sweeteners after all. Otherwise, I'm afraid this old boy will definitely use some crooked ideas. Li Xian knows this well.
At this moment, when he saw Li Zhen assuming a posture of accepting his fate, he couldn't help but feel funny, but he didn't say much, he just waved his hand with an indifferent expression, and screened all the eunuchs who were accompanying him and exited the study.
The main purpose of Li Zhen's visit was naturally to reach an agreement with Li Xian. In addition to dealing with the case, she was also determined to get some benefits from Li Xian. Therefore, even if she was forced to take the blame before
, In fact, he was not as ashamed and annoyed as he appeared on the surface. At this time, when he saw Li Xianping retreating, his eyes immediately flickered, but the city was deep, so he was not in a hurry to speak, but
He narrowed his eyes slightly and waited silently for Li Xian to take the initiative to start a conversation.
"Well, Uncle Eighth investigated the case very carefully. Yes, with such spirit, the truth of the case will surely be revealed to the world as soon as possible."
After everyone left, Li Xian did not speak in a hurry, but calmly flipped through the stack of documents submitted by Li Zhen. After a long time, he raised his head and praised with great satisfaction.
road.
"I feel ashamed. Although my investigation today was detailed, I found nothing. The case is very foggy. I am really embarrassed that I don't know what to do. I wonder if your highness can teach me anything?"
There was a strong sense of ridicule in Li Xian's words, but Li Zhen did not dare to care about it. Therefore, without Li Xian's cooperation in the case, he would never have been able to pass the case with his own strength, let alone the words. It was ridicule, it was ridicule, and Li Zhen could only hold her nose and endure it.
"Uncle Eighth's words have put me in a difficult position. Uncle Eighth is presiding over this case. How dare I make such false statements?"
Li Xian did have the intention to help Li Zhen successfully close the case, but he had the intention, but it was absolutely impossible to fall into Li Zhen's hands. Naturally, he would not rush to come up with a plan, but would evade in an awkward manner. road.
"I can't do anything for you anymore. Your Highness has always been very wise. Please give me some advice. Your Majesty and your empress are still waiting for a reply. Alas, if it really doesn't work, I will have no choice but to resign shamelessly. I think your empress should be It will be accurate."
Li Zhen also came prepared, and when it came to bargaining skills, he would not be far behind. When he saw Li Xian evading words, he immediately made a melancholy look, and his words were consistent with Empress Wu's words. If Li Xianruo refused to extend his hand, he went to see Empress Wu for cooperation.
"Well, my mother has always been wise, so she should be able to understand Uncle Eighth's difficulties."
There is not much evidence left in this case. If you want to accuse Li Xian, unless it is framed, there is no possibility at all. He certainly doesn't care about Li Zhen's threatening words. Besides, Empress Wu was not a fool. How could she help Li Zhen get through this difficulty unconditionally? If Li Zhen had done this, she would not have gained anything other than handing over the matter to Empress Wu. And this, in Li Xian's case, It seems that this was most likely the most fundamental motive behind Empress Wu's recommendation of Li Zhen to handle the case. In view of this, how could Li Xian be blackmailed by Li Zhen's threatening words.
"Your Highness Shengming."
Seeing that his pleas and threats were ineffective, Li Zhen couldn't help but feel a little angry. After praising him, he simply shut his mouth and acted like a dead pig who is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.
This old boy is really naughty, he actually acted like a naughty boy!
Seeing Li Zhen acting such a shameless person, Li Xian was really angry and funny, but it was difficult to get angry at him. Besides, although Li Xian had intended to expose the case earlier, he could still speak out. The time had not come yet, so he didn't want to speak in a hurry, so he simply kept his mouth shut, acting as if the matter was none of his business. The uncle and nephew were silent with their own thoughts, and the study room became strangely quiet. Come down.
"Your Highness, all those who were on duty last night have gathered outside the palace and are on standby. Please give your Highness a clear explanation."
Just as the uncle and nephew were facing each other in silence, there was a loud sound of hurried footsteps. Gao Miao, who was covered in sweat, turned around from behind the screen, quickly rushed to Li Xian, and hurriedly bowed to report. One sentence.
"Well, very good. Uncle Eighth, everyone has arrived. Please ask Uncle Eighth to send someone to conduct a thorough investigation."
Li Xian nodded calmly, looked at Li Zhen expressionlessly, and spoke in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"this……"
Li Zhen clearly knew that there was no way to find out the truth, but he was infamy because of it. Li Zhen definitely didn't want to give this order. The problem was that now, he couldn't say the refusal. After all, he was under the command of It was his mission to investigate the case, and he couldn't help but panic for a while...
